Don't like the weather? Don't worry this is Illinois it changes daily. Wait a day it will be completely different!

Monday night when I left work and headed toward home. I stayed in the left lane of the one way going north here.....I had a feeling that people would have trouble going over the viaduct just north of here.

I was still a block away when I saw there was a tanker truck in the right hand lane...WAIT A MINUTE... HE'S BACKING DOWN THE VIADUCT. BACKING TOWARD TRAFFIC BEHIND HIM.

Yes, I definitely want to turn and go down the other street that goes over the railroad track not over it.

This is the viaduct that people were trying to cross...


This is what the street looked like that I went down. Yes, there is a train, but I would much rather wait on a train then get caught trying to go over the viaduct.

As I sat waiting for the train. I kept watching people over on the other street still trying to go across the viaduct. (Silly people, don't they know that thing is slick as snot?)


Shortly later there were 7 of them stuck up there. All it takes is one guy to have trouble and if he is in front of you (Well, you basically are up the creek without a paddle).

Late yesterday afternoon it started to snow again. It is very cold. And as I stopped at the light going to the nursing home to see my MIL I saw some geese headed south.

When I got to the Nursing home I saw more and was able to capture them on camera.



I think these guys have the best idea yet....THEY ARE HEADED SOUTH!!!!


How far will they go? Where is it warmer then here? Arkansas, Texas or New Mexico?

I want to join them and go----IT IS SO COLD HERE!

Perhaps it is because I am getting older, but I am at the point where I simply detest winter time.

Today, however the sun is shining, but don't let it fool you. It is cold out there!!!!

Guess I should be grateful that we did not get the snow that some others around us go. In Ohio there are some schools closed due to the snow. And I guess parts of Texas and Oklahoma really got a bunch of snow too.

THANK YOU LORD FOR THIS BEAUTIFUL DAY EVEN IF I THINK IT IS VERY COLD OUT THERE!
